Carton jaune

nick hornby gabrielle rolin

Match après match, saison après saison, le football rythme la vie de Nick depuis qu'à onze ans son père l'a emmené assister à sa première rencontre. Qu'il vente, qu'il pleuve, que son équipe gagne ou perde, il est toujours là, supporter inconditionnel dont l'obsession dévore peu à peu le reste de l'existence. Mais la passion n'empêche ni l'humour ni la lucidité, et le fan de foot se dévoile peu à peu, dressant en creux le portrait touchant d'un homme, d'une famille et d'une génération. À tous ceux - et toutes celles - qui ne comprennent pas que l'on puisse se passionner pour vingt-deux types en short courant après un ballon, Nick Hornby apporte la plus savoureuse des explications.
